After reading the article, it is clear the solution to this guy's problem is to end regional airlines since mainline doesn't have a shortage.

Reminds me of talking to one of our flight attendants about airport closures;


FA: "It's so sad that XYZ airport is closed because there is no more airline service there."
Me: "I just flew in there two days ago in my plane-the airport is not closed"
FA: "I LIVE IN THAT TOWN, AND I SHOULD KNOW! DON'T TELL ME IT ISN'T CLOSED!!"
Me: "uhhhhhh...ok then"

I don't know how you play, but I would chug a beer. I suppose colloquial variations are acceptable.
